History
The first written mention of Štěnovice is from 1327. The village was owned by various lesser noble families. For a long time Štěnovice was owned by the Kadovský family (1460s–1554) and Henigars of Žeberk (1601–1697). Among the most important owners was Countess Terezie Pöttingová, who founded here a Trinitarian monastery with a church in 1747–1753.[3]

Sights
The main landmark of the centre of Štěnovice is the Trinitarian monastery with the Church of Saint Procopius. They were built in the Baroque style in 1747–1753, by rebuilding an early Baroque granary. The parish church still serves its purpose. The former monastery is partly used as an apartment and partly unused.[6]
The Štěnovice Castle is located on the opposite bank of the Úhlava River from the rest of the village. It was built in the Baroque style in 1723. Next to the castle is a small park with quality Baroque sculptural decoration. Today the castle is privately used and is occasionally used for social purposes.[7]
